Yumgo invents the vegetable egg. The young start-up supports catering professionals and food manufacturers in replacing eggs in recipes.
“It is necessary to change our eating habits. Gold the egg, most consumed animal protein in the world, is irreplaceable” : Yumgo was born from the idea that at a time of changing eating habits, in a context of inflation, shortage and search for sustainable and responsible solutions, we must propose concrete and unique solutions. Yumgo invents the 100% plant-based egg thanks to solutions that replace the whole egg, egg white or egg yolk in sweet and savory recipes, with the same functionalities, the same gestures, and the same results as with eggs. Solutions based on short ingredient lists, simple and allergen-free. Three ranges are available : Whole Yumgo, White and Yellow in liquid format (1 L, 5L and 10L). Latest addition to the range : “The whole egg”, with an even shorter composition, available in powder format (1 kg or more on order).
